[QUOTE="Tonteldoos, post: 1106902, member: 689"] I have an Apple Music family subscription, and Tidal Hifi, and I have compared Apple's various lossless formats to Tidal. I have compared: [LIST=1] [*]On my phone, using Apple Music vs. Tidal phone apps, to various bluetooth headphones (Sennheiser and Airpods Pro). [*]And on PC (iTunes vs. Tidal desktop apps) - feeding into an iFi ZEN DAC. [*]And I have compared the Apple Music vs. Tidal phone apps, streaming from my phone via Airplay 2 to various receivers (Marantz) and B&W Formation Wedge [/LIST] In each of those use cases, I enjoyed Tidal's sound quality significantly more than Apple Music. There is only one other time where Tidal did NOT impress me, and that was at a friend, who used Roon with a Tidal subscription. In that particular use case, music via Tidal just sounded lifeless. I have no explanation for it, but your experience seems similar... [/QUOTE]
